Here is CNN's poorly-worded headline:
Florida woman sentenced to life in prison for zipping her boyfriend in a suitcase for hours until he died
How many hours could it possibly take to zip somebody inside a suitcase?

Oh yeah, this is a great story. This is one I saw again from one of those YouTube ladies that I watch all the time that does like kind of their own version of dateline.
The dude was like 100 lb. He was a tiny little fella. Of course I mean he fit in a suitcase but she claimed that it was domestic abuse and stuff and she was afraid to let him out. But I mean this guy could barely beat up a cat let alone a grown woman.
Also he agreed to go in the suitcase because it was a dumb game they were playing but she videotaped it. Once he was in there and struggling to get out and asking her to open it, at one point he put his fingers through the zipper holes to try to free himself and she smacked them with a baseball bat. So she was clearly trying to kill this dude.

Sometimes, people at the beach like to be buried in the sand. This woman is fortunate she didn't have to be buried in a cemetery.

Any adult who gets hit by a train deserves it. Trains are literally the easiest thing to see coming. They are stuck to a fixed route!!!
The only excuse for any adult getting in a train accident besides like a derailment would be somebody who works for the railroad and there's a workplace accident.
I hope that moron is issued a citation with a huge fine. This is from the Federal Railroad Administration website:
"In every state, it’s illegal for you to go around a lowered crossing gate or to ignore signs or flashing lights posted at a railroad crossing. Trains always have the right-of-way, and for good reason: Trains can’t swerve, stop quickly or change direction to avert collisions. For example, a train going 55 miles per hour takes a mile or more to stop. It’s never worth risking your life or the lives of your passengers by trying to beat a train."
The Florida moron was lucky. Earlier this week, a Louisiana moron was not lucky.

Florida debates lifting some child labor laws to fill jobs vacated by undocumented immigrants
The state’s legislature on Tuesday advanced a bill that would loosen child labor laws, allowing children as young as 14 years old to work overnight shifts. If the new law is passed, teenagers would be able to work overnight jobs on school days.

Let's fix the American education system by
1. Getting rid of the Dept Of Education
2. Keep 14 year olds up until 3am on school nights.

Many people who see or hear shootings say they heard "bang bang bang" or "pop pop pop." A Florida schmuck says he heard "weh weh weh weh." Um, okay. He also said he heard the gun "bust." Um, okay.

Transit bus driver fatally shot 2 passengers after fight broke out in Miami Gardens, police say - WSVN 7News | Miami News, Weather, Sports | Fort Lauderdale
MIAMI GARDENS, FLA. (WSVN) - Shots rang out inside of a Miami-Dade Transit bus in Miami Gardens overnight, leaving two passengers dead, and police said<a class="excerpt-read-more"...

There are a lot of details missing from that story. It seems like the bus driver escalated a fight to deadly force. However, it also states that he was only taken in for questioning and they're not aware of any charges being filed. So I'm going to need an update to this before I take aside.
I would say this man's brain is either cracked, fried or scrambled. Maybe all three.

Here's the final paragraph of the article:
"The city confirmed that Mutu started his job as a parking enforcement specialist last week, with an annual salary of $42,078,40."
First of all, what kind of number is 42,078,40? Is that last comma supposed to be a decimal point? And WTF does this have to do with the story? Are there people out there saying "Well, this guy is making over $42,078 a year; he should know better"? Bizarre.

That's $20.23 an hour. Another odd amount unless it's after a raise or two of 5 or 6% or something.
Well, once you break $20/hr, you shouldn't be beating-up girls.
